Cicero's influence on language and his prose was reportedly immense and far reaching and has been highly regarded throughout history. I was just looking for recommendations from my learned brethren on an English translation that is highly regarded and/or one you find personally excellent, especially stylistically.

The Loeb Classical volumes are pretty good as cribs. Cicero's Latin isn't that hard to translate, IMHO.

I second the suggestion of the Loeb volumes. They are excellent prose translations.

If you don't want to spent so much money, the Oxford World Classics are worth looking at.
